Cumbrance Poems


The Comeback

It's only temporary.

Your glorious return will be exemplary.

Yes! A golden example of what can happen when you don't quit.

God's proof that you and your talent are legit.

This minuscule setback...

It only sets the stage for your epic comeback.

Never mind the chatter.

You and your heart know it's only clatter.

Noise. Mere frivolous noise of no measure.

But deep inside your soul dwells a magnificent treasure.

Now, go and rise from the wrack.

Out into the beautiful vastness away from lack

Onward to abundance 

Escape the chains of cumbrance

Setback to come back

Back!

Back!

Just like that

2020

Gleaming gadgets galore...
Aquarius is speaking new lore.

Drive-thru getting longer
Hunger pains growing stronger

Pleasurable engagements and easing pain on fleek
Mindless stimuli and opioids we seek

Civil unrest amid quarantine
Masks coming off, no buffers between

Loud is getting louder
Apathy growing dour

Watermelons without seeds in abundance
DNA heisting and genetic gold cumbrance 

My vision is crystal clear 
2020: a year of fear

You are precious and transient  
like an ocean, liquid and deep
viewed from an angle changeant    
still, you only favor for keep  

Love, you are my morning delight 
without you I could never smite   
the cumbrance of a darkly night;  
Deprived of you I'd lose all might.

Let the night wrap me in silence 
for I know no other way to speak 
to those senseless thoughts that slip 
       beneath my cumbrance
               mind

I am feeling cumbrance
for the nonce
ease my temples
settle me in fingerbreadths
